Echoue Bijoux is French for Washed Ashore Jewelry. Join Michelle (aka "Mitch") as she collects shells & beach combs, then creates from what she finds :)
Wow all so beautiful. I have never seen a olive that big.
we get some monster olives here.... i have some recently found fossil ones that are even bigger, they are HUGE lol... will be sharing those later in an upcoming fossil shell hunt :)
Such gorgeous smalls.
OMGosh..love the Chakra shell!!
thank you! i will be sealing that this coming week - cant work outside this weekend in my area of florida, the winds and rains have been VERY strong and a 30 mph wind would take that poor shell back to the ocean from here in this stuff today lol
but as soon as its finished it will be shown off with the rest of the desoto creations :D
@@echouebijoux I completely understand! I'm over in Central Florida, just below Orlando, and its been crazy weather!
I enjoy your creations. Thank you for sharing.
thank you so much!
On our wat to visit Ft De Soto this afternoon!
Awesome! Could you do us all a favor, and Please give an update on the conditions at Desoto over in my community page and let folks know how the beach looks?
- I am heading up there later this week myself to take some video so i can show before and after comparisons on sand levels etc ;) but its gonna be a couple days before i get up there too
So fun and educational. I love your videos! Can we meet your bird sometime?
lol which one, the one on the beach or the one singing while i identified shells, lol? neither of them are mine, only the doggers - we have wild parrots and all sorts of noisy sweet birds around here, tho,, and some of them sing right over me while i work outside lol :D
Michelle I still so hope you would get a basket for your walker so your other hand would be free! The shell bag wouldn"t be so heavy either!
t
If we could find her one of those walker caddies made out of mesh, that would be perfect.
lol I shot this video before i got the new shell bags and walker lol... once i share some of my other content you will see :) i have these new shell bags that i can wear or can velcro to the walker :) i can even put my water in it lol!
@@echouebijoux I'm so glad! I always want to see you hanging a shell bag on your walker so you have hands free to pick up MORE shells! LOL
@@Kammy44 LOL! :D
and yes there are a few nice bead stores around here for sure plus we have hobby lobby and michaels too. but places like Jennifer Wiles Studio and Donnas Beads are LEGIT bead stores, sell all kinds of colors and even the good bead needles and threads too like Sono and KO... its easy to be creative when you have access to great supplies!
Loved your music at the beginning of the video! Is there a name for the group playing that beautiful tropical music! Your shelling and videos are great!!
let me look :) i have a bunch of you tube library music, and i use a few artists quite a lot, like anno domini and Dyalla ... it might be in the description too but honestly it will be easier for me to find right in the iMovie project lol...
OK the intro music, the one that is in all my vids, is called Awaken by Anno Domini Beats.... and the High Speed Hobble music (lol!) is called Emerald Seas by Aaron Kenny. Both are available in the youtube music library :)
If I may ask what bit do you use to drill the shells with?
i have a bunch of diamond bits that i use.. things that drill, and then others that are discs meant to cut. And water! if you try to dry drill the shells get hot, crack, and may explode!
What do you use to shine your shells up with if I can ask?
I use liquid coconut oil :) i know a lot of folks use mineral oil but it is petroleum derived and i didn't want to have that near someones skin if they wear their necklace in the sun or anything :)
I bought some safe Hydrochloric / Muriatic Acid, can you tell me please what ratio for it in a glass jar and also the baking soda ratio to rinse the safe Hydrochloric / Muriatic Acid off of my shells?
Thank you!

oops was trying to get a link and lost what i was typing -
let me try again lol!
ok I use regular muriatic on mine. the kind you can get at lowes and home depot etc. i use 3 parts water and 1 part acid, and add the acid to the water. my neutralizer is like a cup of baking soda in about 8 cups of water and i periodically add more after i have done a bunch of shells. i usually save up a bunch and do it all at once lol
i know @swfbeachlife has a video using a new kind of safe muriatic from about 3 weeks ago - i haven't tried it yet myself, but she posted a video on how to clean w/ the Safe-HCL product. I checked their website and it says 1:1 or 1:100 depending on application...
🤷♀i will ask Sharmon tho and see if she diluted or worked full strength ;)
I reached out to Sharon @swfbeachlife - she says she used it straight from the bottle no dilution!
good luck and let us know how your cleaning goes! :)
@@echouebijoux How about the baking soda solution ratio please?
@@dmaas2580 Listed above - :D
1 cup baking soda to 8 cups water. Add more baking soda ias needed as you process the shells you want any fizzing to stop when you put it in the baking soda then i put them in plain water after to rinse them
hope that helps!
